Q. I

Q. I am 18 years old, and I have been with my boyfriend for almost two years. I have a 7-month-old son with him, and I truly do love him. He was my first lover, and I really want it to stay that way. He has cheated on me twice since we have been together, and it still hurts. Please tell me what I should do.

A. Clearly he doesn't feel toward you the way you feel about him, and so this relationship is never going to be a good one. I know he is the father of your child and your first love, but I think the time has come to take off those rose-colored glasses and leave this man. Then you'll be free to find somebody else who is willing to love you, and it won't matter that he's not the first.
